 Asser - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It is not certain whether his birth name was "Gwyn" (or "Guinn"), which is Welsh for "blessed" (or "blessedness"), or "Asser" (or "Asher"), which is Hebrew for "blessed" and the name of Jacob's eighth son in the Bible.
During the 19th and 20th centuries, several scholars asserted that Asser's biography of King Alfred was not authentic but a forgery; at least one scholar claimed the forger was Bishop Leofric of Devon and Cornwall (became bishop 1046, died 1072).

 British Historical Documents: Asser's Life of Alfred
Although similar to the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle in its annalistic approach, Asser personalized his "Life of King Alfred" so that the man, and not just the Christian king who vanquished the paganistic heathen, was presented.
Asser's "Life" differs also in its use of Latin, not the vernacular in which most sources from Alfred's reign are written.
In the year of our Lord's incarnation the eight hundred and eighty-fourth, [Asser inserted the events of 885 into the slot for 884] and the thirty-sixth from King Alfred's birth, the said army divided into two troops.

 Tobias Michael Carel Asser
T.M.C. Asser was a lawyer from a famous Dutch family which produced a long line of lawyers.
Together with Alfred Hermann Fried (1864-1921), an Austrian journalist and well-known pacifist who was the founder of the peace journal 'Die Friedenswarte,' Asser received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1911, for his devoted work in establishing the Permanent Court of Arbitration during the first Hague Peace Conference of 1899.
Judged by the ambitiousness and the scope of the academic activities to which the Institute has committed itself, it may well be said to have adopted, along with T.M.C. Asser's name, some of the optimism and confidence of his days and some of that spirit of internationalism he represented.

 The Head Heeb: Asser Levy revisited
Among the issues raised in response to my essay on Asser Levy was the question of whether he owned slaves.
The estate was appraised at 553 pounds 15 shillings, which was enough to make Levy a man of substance albeit not one of the colony's elite.
I believe Asser (Asher, for sure) was childless so this tree may be the only tree but if anyone knows different, please let me know.
